Oh hey that’s cool, I never wanted to sleep ever again anyways! Yessss! Man those eyeball fingers are terrifying!
The Monopod Entry # 15
Oh man… too trippy! too trippy! haha! Its like a reclining ruben-esque hypnotoad hidden in a more standard but slowly deflating picture of hypno toad hidden inside the picture of a foot! and the faux 3-d colors are blowing my mind!
Moll Dyer Entry # 9
So say the “dreamer” awoke and the world became a turmoil of death, destruction, and our souls began an impossible cycle of being eaten, re-dreamed and judged in the icy innards of and unknowable but eternal truth, I’m relatively confident this would be the most popular children’s doll in the world! You think that lil house is made of Cob?
The Sea Goat Entry # 16
So my two favorite parts are the creepy bad early 80s minimal yet wilted garnish and that fact that technically if your entire composition had just consisted of that beautiful fork, I’d still know exactly what it was that you intended with the piece!
Judge’s Commentary –
#16 – A sad sad ending to the creature and this week’s competition
The Beast Out of the Sea Entry #13
Oooh! So I think you’re saying education, like a virus, slowly separates the mind of man from the simplistic views of beasts of land and monolithic theologies like so much wheat and chaff… but if we really want to be free we need to dance untethered by boundaries but together with one purpose… interesting… Also isn’t this the moral of “Footloose?” haha!
Judge’s Commentary – I love the take of E Smith that of the Devil as a virus. I picture this virus coming out to a pimp theme song with full production that is a combination of the “Ooogie Boogie theme” and the “Pinball Song” from the Electric Company. All style and flash but some mold on cheese will be its downfall.
The Cockatrice Entry # 14
Well that’s a f’ing coincidence huh? I mean its not a SW tee but dammit if we ain’t talking the same family of Hang up hatin’ Weasels! No part of me doubts that the world would be a better place if this was available as a kite. imagine a litter filled abandoned lot full of kids smiling up at a sky full of these!
The Giant Squid Entry # 24
Always a late entry isn’t there… regardless still fun…he did point out i said 2pm on the about page… well not for long!
The Woodbooger Entry # 10
The sheer amount of lines you guys are laying down on paper makes me happy, I also kinda want that shirt… which i just noticed was Cornholio styley… nice!
The Murphysboro Mud Monster Entry # 9
I mean given his lil in splooches are teenier but dammit if E smith hasn’t pulled off a lil Steadman this time around… who want’s to get ripped!Seriously though “pony fingers” makes me almost as happy as “nipple shadows” and knowing the minimum dots per digit is almost always helpful when doing digit drawing dot assessments…. ok I’m done… ha.
Judge’s Commentary – additional founding drawer, E smith wasn’t able to join us last eve, so maybe it’s just cause we miss him, or maybe cause dammit this one is fantastic!
The Centaur Entry # 14
Ha! So I’ve known this artist forever and know that he’s probably watched easily as much Hercules and Zena as I have, and because of that, he too had to resist the overwhelming urge to make a Centaur Polynesian, so i respect the hell out of this direction. For those unfamiliar with sad monster speak, the caption says “I’m Horse Man!”
The Lil Owl Entry # 22
God the multiple pupils throw me something fierce but I love the hat and lil hoot and I assume some of you will recognize this artists style and if you do please note the fatherly adjustments in composition for this week’s judge are damn near heartwarming (you bastard)
The Leshy Entry # 11
Oh man! It’s been a while since we’ve had one of these… A pure emotion dump! I do believe my favorite line is “spotify took a sh*t on my life” … is the old cajun PBS dude expressing the “Oniaaaahn” here? it sorta feels that way… and about 2/3rds over and down is that a row of parka covered rebels laying against a snow bank while shooting at an imperial walker? … if so.. “it’s getting Hoth in here” (- all credit to john almonte)
The Christmas Elf Entry # 20
So another one I’m torn by the options… is this elfin face skin pulled tight in a kite frame ala the oldest living human on doctor who? or is it a rendering of an elf tech version of the dimensional prison that held Zod and his buds, I like option 2 of these scenarios!
The Hoop Snake Entry # 10
It’s highway robbery I tell you! Am I the only one that wants the lil round guy to have a lil cowboy hat? I mean maybe it’s just his similarity to the old saturday morning cheese spokesman, but i feel it would help counter adorableness of that crown of hooptitude…
The Headless Horseman Entry # 9
It’s funny that it’s not the fact that it’s shaped like a penis with a ham steak slapped on the top of it that scares me, it’s that weirdly frayed crotch on his striped riding tights… Huge fan of your halloween burro btw!
the Merman Entry # 18
So years ago, when some of us designed galleries for adult magazines, there was what we coined “PugButt” a style of shooting, very popular in new Europe where poses that traditionally contained no bunghole, were suddenly ripe with the stuff, this demonstrates it very well, and the six pack abs and Poop Orko made me laugh.
Anubis Entry # 11
Hey! You spelled it wrong! I’m just sorta glad you didn’t make all the holes in the lettering lil anuses! And I don’t know if I’m feeling jackal as much as say ground hog, but I’m sure as sh*t lost in his eyes!.
Judge’s Commentary
Fourth frenchiest, Anus trumps Mummy.
The Questing Beast Entry # 18
Such a good tail and capped with what seems to be a pretty entertaining Questing Beast bung! I’m hugely entertained by the wonky lizard eye tilt. And can you really fault him for not living for tomorrow, I mean with knees built like that and only two walking stalks, you sorta know his later years would entail a lot of laying around being achey.
The Wulgaru Entry # 12
You know, potentially the most realistic construction of and ancient stone and wood golem that we’ve seen and how cool is it that he has to keep his head cocked that way or his three lil brain pebbles will fall off his head. And oddly, as fun as it looks, that moth full of rocks is creeping me the hell out!
The Thriae Entry # 16
Dammit, I’m probably going to remember that “el dorado” line forever now… I have to admit I was initially disappointed, that the dots didn’t connect in an easy childlike fashion, but then i remembered that nor do the timelines, events and fates from which our futures are pulled, and i felt much better… and i gotta say the boneless flesh letters are really starting to grow on me.
The Hootpecker Entry # 9
Now listen here Ghost of Future Owls, if i meant woodpecker I woulda said woodpecker… though i gotta say your underpants are kinda fantastic and a borg eye never hurts, and if you are going to draw a jet-pack I will always recommend the old timey two tank variety… I’m curious do future owls have fire proof drumsticks or are those little dangling treats getting right about delicious by now?
the Turkey Entry # 3
I’m going to assume this is exactly what happens when you take acid on a turkey farm… that or this is a legit glance into an entirely thanksgiving-centric alien world complete with caterpillar birds!
The Long Wang Entry # 14
Oh hell! You ever get that feeling you are suddenly in way over your head? The left right contrast between pure insanity and otherworldy eyebrow laden warm love is uncanny and my brain absolutely refuses to register any concept of scale! I mean… real gutter installation instructions? Installation manual Lorem ipsum for a sub pump? and what could it possibly have to do with ants! AAAAaaaack!
the Pope Lick Monster Entry # 11
Dammit i think this one actually makes me nervous! There’s so much good… is that a catapult launching happiness, do you see those little winged things? I am going to have to remind you that sunshine and rain do make rainbows ; )
the Gorgon Entry # 13
I swear sometimes knowing who these come from is way scarier than not.. I mean did you see the little radio antennae on the “G”… and the captions in this one are not only entertaining but they are laid out so well.
The Phoenix Entry # 13
Just cause I adore your intricate ass fine line wizardry, doesn’ t mean I don’t think you should get help… I gotta admit the sh*t Phoenix is kinda brilliant though!
The Yowie Entry # 9
Every time I look at this, I say, self there is no way they are gonna fit a body under that head so close to the bottom of the page… But you look and it’s freaking perfect, even the arm pits! Also… I want some of what you have.
The Behemoth Entry # 11
Now I’m pretty sure I like 10 better but this one obviously gets points for tank inclusion, and the captions, oh how i love the captions, and the free form notebook lettering, and he looks so very very smelly!
The Behemoth Entry # 10
OK 10 and 11 are pretty obviously from the same artist, I have no issue posting both…The contrast between the way out free flowing ideas and the tightly wound ballpoint lines is unreal!… and does that say BrassOtron or is there a “q” in there?
The Sea Hog Entry # 13
Gotta love the ambient music call out, I mean if there were ever a suitable place for it, the ocean deep, what with it’s plentiful sidebutted, positive thinking and Blue Onion pattern tailed Sea Hogs would be it. The ocean waves and sky make for a very nice stage curtain frame of teh content as well…. but what the hell is that spider webed vortex on the left? Is that a famed tattooed barnacle?
Judge’s Commentary
Two words – “side butt”. I’m not sure if this is a sea hog or something you’d find in a pond next to Chernobyl, but it’s pretty awesome.
The Brownie Entry # 10
God I love these, so I’m just gonna note my favorite parts, the continued presence of star ways vehicles in attack mode, the leg lost to diabetes, the ying yang play of teh “o’s” in poop and those freakish head hands…aaahhh!
The Griffin Entry # 11
Man this one is three quarters of the way to genius! The “does this life make me looks fat”, the pug butt, the wee butterfly wings, that crazy ass picasso eye and the droid taking pot shots at the garbage monster, who’s got eye for our beast!

the Werebear Entry # 15
So I’m saying it’s possible this artist has watched one too many Croneburg movies, but beyond that… Holy hell! From the jingle bell collar, to the insane Mos Isley double eyes to that tiny F’er thinking spiraling squares, and the bees!
the Loch Ness Monster Entry # 8
I almost want to let this artists work have it’s own genre, captioned psychedelia maybe? Again I’m just gonna list my fav parts. The “save” callouts, the hot air balloon, the band aid, the obvious throat tumor and the opposing points of sizzle!
the Red Legged Scissor Man Entry # 18
Striped tights can make anything kinda sexy! ha! It’s been a while since i’ve seen a “last Starfighter” reference! That psycho KIingon/future computer text is getting better and better and I bet that bloated thumb arm smells really really bad!
Judge’s Commentary
last star fighter… Says it all. And I love his crazy long legs. And the thumb border creeps me out! Submitted by E Smith!
The Nephilim Entry # 11
Hey this one looks kinda like Beavis with a really really bad hairline! I hate skinny pants and especially pinstripped ones but oddly, now i sorta want “action slacks” And The cellular structure of a few of these elements is outstanding
The Melon Heads Entry # 15
Dammit if you don’t win for that stupid kid from Rugrats inclusion, I don’t know what the world of weekly mythical beast drawing contests has gone to… those mantis dagger wielding things, melon or not are amazing, and good classic fart caption.
Judge’s Commentary
– There are several things that drew me to this picture, but I think that the finger named Bill Cosby is the one the clinched the runner up title. The central figure also appears to be in so much pain and mental anguish, that I can’t help but feel sorry for him. Submitted by E Smith
The Coonigator Entry # 12
Hahaha! Sh*t just got real indeed! So when i got this I chuckled for a good 3-4 minutes… Our artist has evolved! While personally, I like an entirely hand drawn entry, there is an amazing record cover feel to this that cannot be denied! Bravo!
The Vegetable Lamb Entry # 19
Wow, so these are reminding me more and more of those maps in the beginning of a fantasy novel, that show all the lands that will be covered in the text… I sorta can’t wait for the chapter on “Rump Tower” and you know there will be some Cloud City like betrayal in the Fumes! What ever you do, don’t let that floating teeth bit drag you in, cause if you let it, there is an escher-esque play with space and shading that hurts my brain
The Devil Monkey Entry # 12
Ok, so seriously, the f’ing bullet lines from the grapes to his mouth are pure genius, and the AA dickey ain’t a bad call either, and I’m not entirely sure that his gloriously shorted pelvis isnt backwards!
